Hi Michelle

I had my surgery August 17th. Today is my one month surgery anniversary. My highest weight was 227. My weight on surgery date was 199. I now weigh 186. I walk six miles a day. I'm eating all the right foods. I hope I can lose much more. I would love to zip through the next eleven months to see how much I lose. So far, my total weight loss is 41 lbs. I feel more better and stronger and I also feel like I've been given a new life. My kids are in college now and I'm taking care of me. I can be selfish now. Hope to hear how others are doing who had surgery on August 17th or later. Thanks.

Had surgery September 4th weighed 198lbs and now I am 180lbs. My first 2 weeks I hit a stall, but then all of a sudden I started to lose. Oh I'm 5'3 1/2. I want to lose 60lbs.

Don't give up! Just keep on trucking!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
